FROM THE PULPIT: CHILDREN'S LETTERS CAN REVEAL MUCH ABOUT US
(Column ~ 02/06/00)
I enjoy reading letters that children write to their pastor, or to God. (For a pleasant break, read the book, Children's' Letters to God, The New Collection, compiled by Stuart Hample and Eric Marshall).

Consider this:"Dear God, Is it true my dad won't get to heaven if he uses his bowling words in the house?"...

JOY ALONG THE WAY: LISTENING TO WHERE THE WIND BLOWS ON HIGH

It is an auditory puzzle, surreal. I describe it as nature laying a sound blanket over us...
